We used to go out for drinks after work once or twice a week
Then a guy got so drunk he puked at the bar, got in a fight with another guy and bit his ear off
The guy was immediately fired obviously but we don’t socialize like we used to for some reason
Donnie Darko sequel shit
Advance Publications https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_Publications
Advance Publications, Inc. is a privately held American media company owned by the families of Donald Newhouse and Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr., the sons of company founder Samuel Irving Newhouse Sr. It owns publishing-relating companies including American City Business Journals, MLive Media Group, and Condé Nast, and is a major shareholder in Charter Communications (13% ownership), Reddit (42 million shares), and Warner Bros. Discovery (8% ownership.)
Potato, potato
Reddit is owned and controlled by a corporation (Condé Nast.) They disabled 3rd party Reddit apps to force people onto the official Reddit app which also broke many third party moderation tools. This disproportionately impacted power users, frequent posters, and mods-- in other words, the people who made Reddit the important community it was.
They showed an unwillingness to listen to their community or work with the unpaid volunteer moderators, instead banning the moderators who took part in the Reddit Blackout and replacing them with mods willing to cooperate with the enshittification of the site.
They’ve been mangling the web interface to be uglier and less usable (old.reddit.com is still up, but the mobile version of old.reddit.com is gone). They’ve been experimenting with ways to show more ads and subtler ads.
Lemmy is open source and federated so it can’t get bought up by a company and cored out for shareholder value. You can use different instances, or a variety of apps. You can use (or create your own) third party tools for accessibility and moderation.
Lemmy is currently a smaller universe than Reddit was, but it has a high ratio of good posters and moderators who care personally about their own communities, so hopefully it continues to grow.
This is breathtakingly dumb
Fucking yeesh. The problem with Reddit isn’t Redditors and mods, it never was. The problem is the Reddit admins and owners. Let people do what they want, it literally doesn’t affect you.
I didn’t leave reddit cause of power tripping mods, I left reddit cause of profit hungry admins
The intelligence apparatus of the West has gotten up to some hinky things in the past, but 1. Not to the same degree by a long shot when it comes to end user devices (they’re far more likely to monitor communications from datacenters and cooperative platforms) and 2. Even if you’re already compromised by 1 nation state, why would you want to be compromised by 2?
Don’t muddy the water and give cover to a Nazi. Just report this shit.
Hint: whenever somebody makes sneaky/sly holocaust references, that person is a nazi
I’ll take this question in the spirit of the community you posted to. “No stupid questions” refers to the saying “there is no such thing as a stupid question,” which is an aphorism meant to destigmatize expressing ignorance. This is supposed to be a place to ask the questions you might be afraid to ask because you assume everybody else already knows.
The other posters are responding a bit comedically at the notion that this community is fundamentally opposed to asking “stupid questions” when it’s traditionally been a space for “I’ve been afraid to ask, but are you supposed to use shampoo or conditioner first?” type questions.
It’s genocide denial of one stripe or another. I’m actually thinking holocaust denial (“why tattoo numbers on them if we were just going to kill them?”) but in any case it doesn’t fucking belong here and anyone posting this shit needs to get banned.
Why don’t you just explain the joke for the rest of the class.
Can you be a little more specific? Typing questions into Google or ChatGPT can get you answers on a broad variety of topics. Quora is a well-known “question and answer” type of site. Stack Exchange is a help site network largely specialized for different kinds of computer code, programming, and a few other topics. Is there something specific or a particular kind of community you’re looking for?
